WASHINGTON — The Biden administration has initiated deportation flights for individuals in the United States illegally, signaling a continuation of its tough stance on immigration enforcement.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the flights Thursday on social media, stating, “President Trump is sending a strong and clear message to the entire world: if you illegally enter the United States of America, you will face severe consequences.”
The deportation flights come on the heels of recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, including a controversial raid in Newark, N.J., that drew criticism from local officials and advocacy groups for alleged constitutional violations.
The administration’s actions are part of a broader effort to enforce immigration laws and reduce unauthorized entry into the country, a key focus of Trump’s policy agenda.
No details were immediately provided regarding the number of flights, the destinations, or the individuals being deported. However, the announcement has already reignited national debate over the approach to immigration enforcement.
